Little flakes of sunset
Language: English
Little flakes of sunset Blown about the sky, Burn like trellised roses Blooming heaven-high. You should have one for your hair, And a star to pin it there, If the wind were I! Perilous your rose face! How shall I beware? No gold so forbidden As your shining hair! Rose of sunset, golden rose -- If you knew what my heart knows, Would it make you care?
